There are a couple of open source projects like http://opentaxsolver.sourceforge.net/ http://opentaxsolver.sourceforge.net/ and https://ustaxes.org/ https://ustaxes.org/ ; perhaps we should support these to get to the point where they can actually replace TurboTax and H&R. I bet the laws are unnecessarily complicated and they probably continue to get more complicated due to Intuit's lobbying but opposing that is a much more expensive proposition than supporting an open source project (with code, or financially).
